KINETICS OF REACTION OF TRIETHYLAMMONIUM CARBOXYLATES WITH PROPORTIONAL-TO-HALOGENO CARBONYL-COMPOUNDS IN ORGANIC-SOLVENTS .4. EFFECTS OF SOLVENTS ON THE REACTION-RATE OF TRIETHYLAMMONIUM BENZOATE WITH PHENACYL BROMIDE By:PILLAY, MK (PILLAY, MK); SHANMUGAM, K (SHANMUGAM, K) JOURNAL OF THE INDIAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY Volume: 69 Issue: 12 Pages: 838-840 Published: DEC 1992 View Journal Information Abstract Kinetics of the reaction of triethylammonium benzoate with phenacyl bromide in different dipolar aprotic and protic solvents have been followed. The reaction is about 200-400 times faster in aprotic solvent than in protic solvent. In aprotic dipolar solvents the carboxylate anion exists as desolvated one whereas in protic solvents the nucleophile is solvated by hydrogen-bonding thereby decreasing the nucleophilicity of the active species. The correlation or the rate constants with various solvent parameters has been checked.
